REPLACING ZIP-ON BOOSTER PACK (FIGURE 8)
The JetForce BT allows for Zip-On Booster Packs (8a) to be interchanged on
your JetForce BT Base Unit (8b) based on your cargo requirements. To replace
the modular portion of the backpack, use the following procedure:
1. Locate both Booster Pack Zipper Pulls (8c) on the main cargo compartment
of the pack.
2. Open the zippers all the way around the pack until they come off of Booster
Pack Zipper Ends (8d) at the bottom of the pack.
3. Remove the Zip-On Booster Pack (8a) from the JetForce BT Base Unit (8c).
4. Align the replacement Zip-On Booster Pack (8a) with the zippers on JetForce
BT Base Unit (8b) and engage both Booster Pack Zipper Pulls (8c) with the
corresponding Booster Pack Zipper Ends (8d).
5. Pull the Booster Pack Zipper Pulls (8c) around the pack to the desired posi-
tion for use as the main access zipper to the cargo compartment of the pack.

WARNING! Do not use JetForce BT without a Booster Pack attached .
TROUBLESHOOTING
In any system state (armed, charging, calibration), the JetForce BT system pro-
vides comprehensive self-diagnosis. Warnings or errors are indicated with the
red System Status Light (1e), in conjunction with the blue Charge Status Lights
(1f) for differentiation (Figures 6-7):
1. Permanent solid red: Malfunction, initial deployment is not guaranteed – do
not enter avalanche terrain!
2. Permanent blinking red: Warning, battery charge insufficient. Deployment is
possible, but may cause damage to the battery.
3. Temporary blinking red for 3 seconds after arming then system proceeds as
usual: self-test error with deployment-unrelated malfunction, deployment
cycle is not affected.
To troubleshoot the system, follow these steps in order. Check for normal oper-
ation after each step:
1. Turn the system off and turn it back on.
2. Connect the Charging Plug (1h) to the Charging Power Supply (1o) and leave
system connected until you see 4 solid blue Charge Status Lights (1f).
Afterwards disconnect and arm the system.
3. Confirm that the battery attachment screws are tight. Tighten if battery is
loose.
4. Use "System Check" in the Pieps app for detailed troubleshooting. The app
also provides a detailed explanation of status light indications. Follow the
instructions and advice in the app. To connect the system to a device with
Bluetooth technology, refer to "BLUETOOTH CONNECTION" section of this
manual.
5. Contact your pack manufacturer´s service center for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• The JetForce BT Backpack must not come into contact with corrosive
materials such as battery acid, battery fumes, solvents, chlorine bleach,
antifreeze, isopropyl alcohol or gasoline.
• If you need to clean your pack, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to spot
clean the specific area. Take care to not get the pack overly wet. When
finished cleaning, open any affected pockets, hang the pack, and allow to air
dry prior to use.
• Do not crush, puncture or subject the battery to excessive mechanical shock
or vibration.
• Inspect the Lithium-Ion Battery (1g) regularly for cracking, swelling or other
physical damage and replace damaged units immediately.
• The JetForce BT battery has been engineered to perform optimally at very
cold temperatures and has an internal charging circuit that maintains the
health of the battery; however, all Lithium-ion batteries, no matter how well
they are controlled, are subject to deterioration over time and with use.
Storing the battery for a long period of time at full charge and/or at high
temperatures are the easiest ways to permanently decrease the capacity
and health of the battery. Additionally, do not allow your battery to deep
discharge. Running the system when the battery is showing no blue lights
may damage the battery.
• Battery health can be greatly extended by doing the following:
1. Disarm the system whenever not in avalanche terrain.
2. Charge the battery frequently during normal, regular use. As with all
Lithium-ion batteries, it is ideal to maintain a charge of 100% (4 blue lights)
when being used regularly. Avoid full discharge
3. Store the JetForce BT pack in a cool (< 23°C/73°F), dry environment at
75%-90% (3 blue lights) battery charge when not being used regularly.
4. While the overall system will function up to 45° C [113°F], battery deterio-
ration is accelerated at temperatures higher than 23°C [73°F].
• System Check: The Pieps app can be used at any time to verify that your
JetForce BT system is functioning properly.
• Battery Calibration: It is recommended to perform a battery calibration once
a year, after the skiing season. Battery calibration allows you to evaluate
battery health and helps to provide the most accurate charge level indication.
1) Start calibration with a low battery charge level (1 blue light) as the system
needs to empty the battery before recharging.
2) Connect the Charging Plug (1h) to the Charging Power Supply (1o) and wait
for system to begin charging.
3) Press and hold (~3 seconds) the red Power Button (1d) until you hear the
motor running with low power. The lights indicate Calibration => no red,
blinking green, cycling blue outside/inside.
4) The calibration routine ends with a result indication:
• Very good:
no red, blinking green, solid blue #1-4
• Good:
no red, blinking green, solid blue #1-3
• Acceptable:
no red, blinking green, solid blue #1-2
• Not acceptable: solid red, no green, solid blue #1
(recommendation for battery replacement)
Required Action
Recharge battery
Make sure that the system
is charged at room tem-
perature. Leave the system
connected to power supply
until the battery temperature
is inside the allowed charge
temperature range and
charging starts automati-
cally.
Battery needs to be replaced
Stop the indication by using
the disarming process and
activate Bluetooth again.
If you continue to see this
error, contact your pack man-
ufacturer´s service center for
assistance.
